@grok @MichaelJordaan @ReutersAfrica @grok does this include secondary metals like aluminium ingots?

Strawberries? From Dyson?!

Yes, the same Dyson that reimagined the vacuum cleaner… is now reimagining farming. And it’s brilliant.

When I think of Dyson, I picture futuristic fans — not vertical farms.

But here we are.

The innovation?

Dyson has developed a high-tech vertical farming system that looks like something out of a sci-fi film:
🍓 Two Ferris-wheel-style rigs rotating trays of strawberries toward optimal light
🤖 Robots picking only the ripest fruit
🌱 UV light preventing mold
🔁 Recycled heat and CO₂ powering the entire system

📈 The result? 2.5x more strawberries per square meter.

This isn’t just farming. It’s systems engineering. Precision robotics. Design thinking applied to food production.

And in my opinion, it's a reminder that even the most traditional industries can be transformed - when automation, AI, and imagination come together.

So, what’s next?

Which “low-tech” industry do you believe is ready for a radical, high-tech reinvention?

@AntonEberhard @Eskom_SA @mteton Give it a rest Anton as you’re losing credibility over here. They have done what many before them could not achieve.

@BrendonWessels He’s a machine

@dawievdwest225 @keithmclachlan Interesting, well whatever floats your boat I guess.

[Ebrahim Khan @Ebrahim_Khan]

@dawievdwest225 @keithmclachlan Where are your concerns with the business. I don’t understand what you’re trying to allude to with the technical analysis?

[Ebrahim Khan @Ebrahim_Khan]

@ClaysonMonyela I don’t believe aggregating the EU block as one is correct. US ranked 2nd and last data shows that we run a trade surplus with US versus a massive trade deficit with China

@TheLongInvest You can do both

@frazerc11 @SkySports With his global profile syndicating capital will most certainly not be a challenge for him

[Ebrahim Khan @Ebrahim_Khan]

@TimesSport @stephenjones9 Oh shut up

[Ebrahim Khan @Ebrahim_Khan]

@PlanetRugby Who cares

[Ebrahim Khan @Ebrahim_Khan]

@RyanCoetzee Need to also consider debt to gdp ratio at national level to determine net equity strength

ROIC - The underappreciated variable in valuation:

[Ebrahim Khan @Ebrahim_Khan]

@Kgosientsho_R Great Minister. But your proposed tariff hike to increase revenue to stabilise your balance sheet will hurt the productive economy. Need to strike a balance

@askash No you said R6bn 😜

[Ebrahim Khan @Ebrahim_Khan]

@UrbanLo Your analogy is flawed. The game is not played based on proportion of time.. but what you do during that time

@vuyo53 @MagnusHeystek Which company have you built with a positive working capital structure with negative profits that’s around today?

[Ebrahim Khan @Ebrahim_Khan]

@vuyo53 @MagnusHeystek No brother… profit is what keeps you in business

[Ebrahim Khan @Ebrahim_Khan]

@vuyo53 @MagnusHeystek Nope, you can’t chase profit if you don’t know how to create it and then to sustain it at a margin that creates free cash flow
